Maybe what we'll end up with will be more like Age of Apocalypse than Flashpoint? A huge, status-quo-shaking event that puts the entire motley crew in dire straits, but ends up being reset later?
Still not buying any Marvel.

So I stand alone. I think the Marvel Universe is such a convoluted $*cking mess - that it SERIOUSLY needs a reset button. There's X-Men, then alternate versions of them from every time line hanging out in 616. There's time displaced characters, stuck everywhere. People have died, come back, died, come back - a nice clean, reboot, back to a more fundamental story telling and art (such as The New 52).
I was never, ever, ever a fan of DC. But when they did the New 52, I understood it was a reboot - so I picked up just about every title. And now my DC pull list isn't just MORE than my Marvel pull list - it dominates it. I continue to drop more Marvel titles, to pick up more DC titles.
No, you're not alone, not at all. I still have a few of DC's New 52 titles in my pull list, whereas i haven't had any from Marvel there in quite a while now.
It's not that I don't think Marvel NEEDS a reboot...I just don't BELIEVE Marvel, not ever. They've been (opinion: to me and my way of thinking) untrustworthy for far too long for me to believe anything they tell me, especially if making-a-buck is involved.
However, to be fair, i will mention this; DC's reboot was much needed, but it stifled a lot of artistic creativity by way of editors telling writers exactly what stories they could and could not write. The way i see it, Marvel doesn't need to do a reboot to achieve this, that is already the way they operate!

You're not alone in thinking it's too convoluted; but I just don't think a reboot is the answer.
And the Nu52 kept telling us 'it's a reboot, it's not a reboot, some of it is rebooted, some of it is unbooted, some of it is jack-booted'...
If Marvel does reset, I hope they're clearer than that.

Perhaps, because I barely collected any DC before the reboot (the only ones I collected were Teen Titans/Titans/New Teen Titans, whatever name that team was going by - for like 5 years before the reboot), Aquaman and Hawkman (and Outsiders too).
But I thought the reboot was done nicely. They put great, talented writers on books (for the most part), who STAYED on the books for a pretty good long haul. So there seemed to be a solid story structure. Their artists were great.
I could almost see Marvel (or Disney) wanting to reboot Marvel to a more classic Superhero feel (which I think the New 52 has), so that Disney can market it more towards kids. Because right now, it's crap. Almost all of it. Pure. Crap.
You know, if it helps lock down the books, so they feel tighter, then so be it. I think that's part of the problem with Marvel. They don't seem to give a flying $^#@* about the books. Just let the writers write whatever the ##@(* they want to write. And give them "named artists" - who, I'm sorry - I can draw better than, I feel, using stick figures.
I'm pretty sure I want to see examples of this!I can draw better than, I feel, using stick figures.![]()

While the 'two worlds collide' thang certainly lends itself to a reboot idea, nothing I read in that article screamed at me 'we're rebooting the universe!'. It all came across to me as a very clever marketing ploy. 'Here's a way to get a preview of a year and a half in advance; and if you read all our comics between then and now, you'll be caught up'.
Fiendishly cunning.
